With the support hand remove the magazine (and stow it) and then insert the fingers of your support hand into the magwell and feel around to try and dislodge any cartridges or cases. While the support hand holds the front HG's the strong hand forcefully yanks the charging handle to the rear and holds it there. Remedial malfunction clearance on an AK rifle begins with pulling the buttstock of the AK into your strong side armpit and clamping down on it. Stoppages that I've seen include, but are not limited to:ĭouble feed: attempt to cram two cartridges into the chamber at the same timeįailure to extract: a case or live round is in the chamber and a live round is stuck behind itĬase wedged between top cover and gas piston/bolt carrier If you glance and don't see a stovepipe then you need to move into remedial malfunction clearance. If you glance at the ejection port and see a stovepipe you can usually swipe it off and rock on. If you have a dead trigger you *know* that you have a malfunction. If you are three shots into a fresh magazine and the gun goes "click" instead of "bang" common sense dictates that it is not out of ammo and that IA will very quickly resolve the problem. Looking at the above, the only place where IA makes sense is if the end-user has good situational awareness and the weapon has recently been reloaded. So the question is: is immediate action redundant? I think a persuasive argument can be made for this. The weapon failed to properly extract and/or eject and rechambered an empty case. The weapon fired and cycled the action but did not strip a new round off the magazine. Reload will not fix this, nor will anything else. There is a round in the chamber but the firing pin is broken. There is a round in the chamber but it has a bad primer. There was no round in the chamber to begin with. Let's now compare this to the other school of thought which is to simply reload everytime one of the above occurs: IA may fix this, unless it is magazine related. IA will not fix this, nor will anything else. Let's see what the previously described IA will resolve: If it falls (click) and no bang happens it can only be one of a couple of things: When you press the trigger either the hammer will fall or it will not. If this does not resolve the issue then the rifle needs reloaded. If it is discovered that the mag is solidly locked in then you are again going to rack the charging handle. Lock the mag back in properly and rack the charging handle. At this point if the mag comes out, you know the issue - either the mag was rocked in at the wrong angle (but fooled the operator by "clicking in") or the mag latch got accidentally bumped and the mag came partially loose. Immediate action for the AK (as I've been taught) consists of grabbing the magazine at its base and giving it a sharp yank front/back. Immediate action is roughly comparable to the "tap-rack-bang" procedure that has been universally accepted as the way to solve 80% of handgun stoppages. There are traditionally two types of malfunction clearance, immediate and remedial. What I am trying to do here is to compare notes with others to figure out what works, what doesn't work, and what may be redundant. This is not intended to be me "preaching", this is me talking about some of the stuff that I know and that I've been taught. Stemming from a discussion in a thread on another forum, I wanted to start a new discussion particularly about Kalashnikov malfunction clearance.
